The ten Man Booker International Prize Finalists are:
- U R Ananthamurthy (India)
- Aharon Appelfeld (Israel)
- Lydia Davis (USA)
- Intizar Husain (Pakistan)
- Yan Lianke (China)
- Marie NDiaye (France)
- Josip Novakovich (Canada)
- Marilynne Robinson (USA)
- Vladimir Sorokin (Russia)
- Peter Stamm (Switzerland)
This marks the second time in a row that there have been no Latin American authors, not that that’s at all surprising given the judges’ backgrounds. I am pleased to see Lydia Davis and Marilynne Robinson on the list, as I think they are two of the best writers in the United States.
